THe ciuile Magistrate is ordeined, and allo∣wed of God: wherefore we must obeie him, not onely for feare of punishment, but also for conscience sake.
THe ciuile lawes maie punishe Christien men with death, for heinous, & grieuous offences.
IT is lawefull for Christians, at the com∣maundement of the Magistrate, to weare weapons, and to serue in laweful warres.
